Vote away, the question needs to be "if I owned Dusk Till Dawn"
Here's thing Rob... Can I really answer the question? No, I'm NOT the owner, However, I advice business owners everyday, it's what I do. But before I offer my opinion, and let's face it, opinions are like backsides, everyone has one. I need to tell you I took a deal at one of your deepstacks only a few month back, here's the details, I'm forth in chips, nine left, next one out gets less then £2K. The deal on the table chip leader gets £10k the rest £9k. At the time I was in agreeing to a chip deal. The lowest stack was offered about 6K and said no. The chip leader then asked if we would all take the 9 and give him the 10. After a lot of phone calls and talks with sponsors, friend and families which took about 20 mins everyone agreed but not everyone was happy. Would I do a deal again, not sure, if one of the players was skint, and gave me the hard luck story. I would, would I the club to take this option away, no, but make it a chip count and keep 5% of your guarantee back for the winner and make then play on.
That said, here goes.... If I was the owner of dtd... It's my club... my rules... I would want a conclusion to the final table... So I could market it to the tv, Internet media. I would want to tell my third party customers, UKIPT, EPT, Blackbelt and maybe even a EWSOP that there will be a winner at DTD. I will keep doing what I'm doing because DTD is a bloody good club....
Your turn Rob... Question: Will deal making damage the club's reputation?ps... I am the fella that was in the smoking area with you when I told my mate to try and make a deal he was lowest in chips and £19K-£20K will change his life... as a friend how could I not give him that advice... Sorry if that conversation sparked this debate.
